Yes and no.
In this situation, the husband may marry into wife's family. The child will inherit the family name. It implies that the wife's family has no son.

thank you for correcting my misunderstanding I really thought it had to do only with family status

Story? There was a story??? It wasn't just meant to be a hot leg montage?

I think there is a story I'm not turning a blind eye to it, it's just that the times I post are in the dead times of the day, I don't think but instead let my emotions post for me. And the leg service in ep 04 was just astounding

But let's see what happens when I post during the day (morning), I'm in serious mode now, folks

The problem with this theory is that it would also mean whatever Yuuko touches, one cannot see it.

The elevator scene in, ep 02 was it, er I think that was ep 01, is a sure answer to what happens when Yuuko touches something. Rumors of the elevator being used started because students heard it being used, just like the knocks on the night-watch room. Both cases were started by her.

I also believe thundrakkon is correct in that Okonogi simply wasn't aware of Yuuko's antics because she was busy in her notebook.

I mentioned the dressing scene with Kiri because it shows a rather important detail. To Kiri, Yuuko was not undressing, we simply see her already in her swimsuit mainly because at the time, Kiri was conscious of her own body and since it was a pool scene, and Yuuko is a part of the crew, Kiri was seeing her in her swimsuit already because what Kiri was focusing on were Yuuko's assets (ie, Kiri wasn't interested in what Yuuko would wear, so we didn't get to see Yuuko strip)

Notice that Yuuko has only been seen changing in front of Eichi (so far). Drying from the rain, the change of seasonal clothes, it's not that she's physically changing different clothes all the time, I believe what we're seeing is sort of like Eichi-vision, so for example, subconsciously, Eichi knows it's cold out, so he "envisioned" Yuuko dressing warmly. She wanted to go skinny dipping, Eichi imagines her stripping . If she were physically changing into different clothes that no one can see once she wears them, where do the clothes come from?

I think the perception case only applies with what type of image one sees Yuuko as, either hideous or attractive.

The perception one has of her is if you're conscious of the supernatural. How you see her depends on if you are scared of her (Okonogi) or not (Eichi).

Of course, I'm basing these theories on the anime itself, before the series aired I selectively chose to forget the manga, so if there was something explained in there, I still don't think it'll apply to the anime. I find it amusing that some questions such as these are being sidestepped in the anime, so whether or not we'll get a concrete answer, who knows, but I think these theories fit in with what we've seen so far.

And what's your explanation for the first time she changed clothes, given that the only person with her was Teiichi, and it's explicitly stated that he expected her to be able to simply alter her appearance in an instant and not need to change?

Don't try to make this more complicated than it is. They've told us plainly that she needs to physically put on different clothes. This is not in question. Teiichi did not subconsciously know it was cold out: Yuuko told him it was cold out, and that's why she was putting on stockings and a sweater. Teiichi did not subconsciously picture Yuuko stripping naked to go swimming: he saw her at the pool earlier in her bikini, and any subconscious association going on in his mind would have shown her in that.

What we are seeing right now is what is really there, and what is really happening. Yuuko is putting on clothes, taking off clothes, etc. No one is imagining these events. Yuuko is actually performing them.

Where do the clothes come from? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. No explanation is needed, because it is not important.

[vansonbee]

I can't wait for the episode where Kirie touches Yuuko (no dirty thoughts). These 2 need to make-up!

I hope the new ghost isn't a add-on to the protagonist harem... or maybe the killer of Yuuko?

Let's see, when Teichi first met her, he was quite unsure of what she really is. I mean, he can touch her, so she can't be a ghost, right? I don't remember the story ever pursuing this, as we've never actually seen her undress with anyone around other than Teichi, so there might actually be a special reason why we've only seen her undress with just Teichi around. Or am I forgetting something here?

Teiichi did not subconsciously know it was cold out: Yuuko told him it was cold out, and that's why she was putting on stockings and a sweater.

Let me try to clarify myself if I wasn't clear enough. It's not about he made her wear those things, it's about him seeing her put them on. She told him it's cold outside, so he saw her piling them on. Or have you forgotten that he is practically the only one who sees her the way she sees herself?

Teiichi did not subconsciously picture Yuuko stripping naked to go swimming: he saw her at the pool earlier in her bikini, and any subconscious association going on in his mind would have shown her in that.

Eh what? She was wearing clothes [that he saw her put on], she wanted to take a dip, so she takes them off, and he sees it.

He saw Yuuko in a bikini at the pool because she was wearing something to show to him. Apparently Kiri and he can see her normal self, so they saw the same thing.

What we are seeing right now is what is really there, and what is really happening. Yuuko is putting on clothes, taking off clothes, etc. No one is imagining these events. Yuuko is actually performing them.

Where do the clothes come from? I don't know, and it doesn't matter. No explanation is needed, because it is not important.

my whole point (and the topic of the discussion) is that I do not believe she is wearing some real clothes, as in, if she were to strip Kiri and wear her clothes. Of course she has to actually wear something, but the question I was looking at is is she wearing something that others would see only, and not her.

That's why it's not unimportant. Some viewers are perplexed as to where these clothes come from, and if they were real actual clothes, why does not one see them floating around. I believe she's not wearing "clothes" she bought at the mall because, well, no dough, no product. Which I also believe she cannot simply steal those same clothes, wear them, and they automatically become invisible. This isn't a sci-fi anime

By the way, to answer an earlier question about if Yuuko can pass through objects, it's been shown already that she can't :/

[Random Wanderer]

While I'm here...

Of course, I'm basing these theories on the anime itself, before the series aired I selectively chose to forget the manga, so if there was something explained in there, I still don't think it'll apply to the anime.

So you're deliberately throwing out speculations that you actually know are wrong?

And what do you think would happen if Kirie were to try to wear Yuuko's clothes? I bet I could tell you, and the answer would not be what you seem to be advocating.

By the way, Yuuko can't wear Kirie's clothes. They don't fit.

No, I honestly don't remember much about any chapters prior to the most recent one. As such, I have already learned to treat the anime thread for what it is and not insert manga related topics. Besides, it's been already mentioned that there were some changes in the anime, so I would actually be wrong to insert manga truths into an anime that does not have them at all. But that's basically how I treat it, what happened in the anime stays in the anime thread, and what happened in the manga stays in the manga thread.

And what do you think would happen if Kirie were to try to wear Yuuko's clothes? I bet I could tell you, and the answer would not be what you seem to be advocating.

Oh quiz, let me try this ........ I've never thought about that, seriously. I've only been thinking about Yuuko wearing real-world clothes, and not if Kiri would wear some supernatural clothes. That's not possible, is it? If I'm remember another series correctly, there might be some kind of mystical force stopping a real world person from deeply interacting with the supernatural.

Wait sorry, I think that was from a hentai manga

Before I forget.... if Kiri were to wear supernatural clothes, and then.......... if Okonogi were to see her, Kiri would be.....naked!?!?

By the way, Yuuko can't wear Kirie's clothes. They don't fit.

Are you saying she's flat? Are you saying Kiri ain't pretty? ABSURDITY! She is cute! That slender body makes me want to hug her real tightly

Sorry, answering any of that would be spoilers.

Are you saying she's flat?

Much more so than Yuuko, at least.

Are you saying Kiri ain't pretty?

No, the only person here who's said that so far is you, just now. Breast size is not an absolute indicator of beauty.

[novalysis]

But Kirie is right. Should she grow her hair out, she'd be more physically attractive.

Spoiler for Manga:

Indeed, aside from her Breast Size, a Kirie in a long hair wig does look very similar to Yuuko. So close, that they look like twin sisters.

[EroKing]

Kirie's "sukebei" is enough to give me raging boner. Adding her nice slender body to that is enough to send you straight to heaven

Depends on one's tastes.

Since I'm lazy to do any animated stuff here's some static avatars and sigs.

Easy enough to explain, as part of the explanation you already said in the first sentence. Things she manipulates cannot be noticed by normal people visually, but if it makes noise noticeably large enough, normal people can hear it.

[Kismet-chan]

I don't care what anybody says, Kirie gives me a lady boner. <3

Gaah... trying to make me remember that manga, eh You can't sway me! I just hope somebody doesn't drop some keywords in here or else I'll remember everything

Aha, you indirectly called her flat! Blasphemy!

And I know some of you would know me as the bouncytron, but I do admit breast size isn't the deciding factor of beauty.... no matter how much my avatars poison you

Instead, shouldn't that be.... she makes your nipples hard? *runs*

Wait..... what is with the rise in Kiri love? I loved her first, and I love her more than anyone!

But you, the King, lazy? then you're not a king, your more like.... the court jester I think this should refuel your ero-tank:


Hows that, eh? Irresistible, I bet. Give in to yuuko's big ones!

Wha? Your fuel tank not full? Gas prices too high? Darn, how about this:


Gyahahaha, pantyhose Yuuko! IF you got a foot fetish, that should do the trick......huh? Still not enough? Then give in to the beauty that is YUUKO'S BARE LEGS


PANTYHOSE YUUKO



NOSEBLEED

Still not good enough? Shuckles, I'm down for the count and I've only got one bullet left. And when you're out of ammo, you..... SURRENDER TO YUUKO

slightly nsfw Yuuko

That's the thing though, when Yuuko turned Teichi's head away from Okonogi during the pool scene, that was clearly something everyone could see Well, that is Teichi, a living person, so that would make sense why.

I honestly think that things were visible in that room when yuuko was alone with Okonogi, they did show us that scene twice after all. Maybe another episode might clear things up, there really hasn't been enough Okonogi scenes like that so it's not entirely clear who can see her do those.

All so lovely yet the sad thing is none of those artwork is by Maybe himself, sigh...

[Lukeman1884]

Have we ever seen WHERE Yuuko gets her clothes from? It's not as if they'd just be lying around everywhere. From what I remember, from this ep anyways, she seems to just pull them out of mid-air. If that IS the case, then that puts more behind Mangatron's argument.

Silly! XP *gets out a giant paper fan and chases* But perhaps in addition to the lady boner, yes. Muahahahaha!

Up until now, I somewhat assumed that she just appeared to people (specifically, Teiichi) as clothed for the most part. But after reading Random Wanderer's last post, I really wonder...

*Shrugs* I guess this is one of those situations where I don't really care, due to Yuuko's smexyness.
